Summary

This is Part 2 of the Tahoe 200 Endurance Run just finished up a week ago. There were over 100 people that started this race of 205.5 miles, including our own Don Freeman. We are doing a tw0-part podcast devoted to the race report (because this is twice as long as a 100-mile race, duh).

Andy Jones-Wilkins and Jimmy Dean Freeman join this podcast to cover the experience of running the race from the eyes of Don

1:08.6	her a week before the race and just wished her luck.
1:11.3	Wow.
1:12.3	Now that's customer service.
1:13.3	When's the last time the big bottle that you get in the store called you to ask you
